Recap Semi Finals Match

McKenna & Walsh def Finn & Bamford 1 up

This match started with Ed Finn firing on all cylinders by birdieing the first and 2nd hole which you would think put his team up 2, but Rick Walsh again comes through with a birdie net eagle on 2 to get the match even. The 3rd hole was an adventure for Finn and needing his partner getting a stroke to come through with just a bogie, Bamford instead thought he was playing hockey, slapped the ball all over the green to put his team down 1. Finn on 4 makes his 3rd birdie in 4 holes to get back even. Bamford blasts his drive on 5 and things were looking good until he followed it up with a dud, meanwhile McKenna and Walsh are looking for the fire engines to hose down Finn. The hole was won by McKenna putting them up 1. The 6th hole was highlighted by Walsh just missing the stick on his tee shot leaving him a testy downhill putt. Bamford hits his shot over the green, but chips up to 3 feet. Walsh cozies his putt for an easy 3 net 2. Bamford needing his putt to halve the hole and the echo of are you kidding me tells it all. Finn getting a stroke on 7 pars the hole to get within 1. McKenna on 8 puts his 2nd shot to 4' of the cup, he studies it like a book, but just missed to give Finn and Bamford one more shot at tying it up with Bamford getting a stroke on 9. McKenna blasts his tee shot past the bunker in the center of the fairway. Walsh is just short of the trap in the short grass. Things are not looking good for Finn and Bamford and when McKenna draws a 4 wood to the edge of the green the music of turn out the lights is playing in the background. McKenna birdies the hole to end it.
McKenna and Walsh now turn their attention to the kid from Nashawtuc and am I getting a stroke on this hole Poverman.
